This year, round about the beginning of July my friends got talking to a boy that I knew but didn't really speak to. I had met him a couple of years ago with my best friend at the time but hadn't seen him since then. My friends went camping with him and his friends one night and then we just started speaking to each other after that. He stopped in his car and offered to take us for a spin. He had gotten off with one of my mates when they were camping so we thought he fancied her, but we found out that he didn't. We got in his car practically every night and it was such a laugh. He used to go throught the high street with cheesey music totally blaring, like steps tragedy and spice girls! It got everyone staring but that's what made it fun he wasn't worried about what people thought of him, that's what I liked about him. I knew from the start that I really liked him and I hoped that something could happen between us. I never told him and I didn't tell my friends because I thought one of them liked him.
We got together eventually and I was so happy. He was so nice and he made me feel special. We spent every day of the summer holidays together and when I went back to school he came to see me every lunch time and walked me home after school. Just a week before going back to school my dad saw me getting out of Lee's car and he went mental. He didn't want me going out with an 18 yr old boy because I'm only 14. I got grounded and it was really hard not being able to see Lee, but he phoned me most nights. I didn't stop seeing Lee because I really liked him, but it was really hard to keep it a seceret from my mum and dad. We never got caught, but my mum was very suspiscious. It's unbelievable the amount of lies I had to tell! I met loads of his friends when we were going out and the 2 I liked most were Sean(also knon as Snij) and his girlfriend Ann-Marie. I knew Ann-Marie from school so we got on well. If my friends weren't in the car with us then they were and we always had a laugh. It was hard for me and Lee to spend time just the 2 of us but we found ways, although I wish we had spent more time alone together.
Lee cheated on me with his ex-girlfriend when he was out getting drunk with his mates. He came up to me and admitted it the next day, which I thought was nice of him. That sounds stupid, but at least he didn't lie! We split up but got back together after about a week. I thought I'd be okay with it but I felt really awkward and couldn't stop thinking about him wanting to be with someone else. He always told me he loved me, but if he really loved me he wouldn't have done that to me. I finished with him less than a week of us getting back together. He started crying and so did I and that's when I realised....people make mistakes and I could tell he regreted it, I know he loved me and I loved him too. There was no going back now though, I had done it and you can't turn back time. We agreed to be best friends and he took me out for a spin that night. We met Ann-Marie and Sean, so stopped to speak to them. Then Lee took me home. Little did I know that this would be the last time I'd speak to the 3 of them.
I went to school the next day feeling a bit down but I was happy that me and Lee were still friends. Didn't feel like going out when I got home so decided that I would go out in my mums car while she did her work. She had a patient near where Lee lived. I was sitting in the car and we were texting each other. Then he came up the road in his car and stuck his middle finger up at me for a joke. That was the last time I saw him!
Next day went to school as normal. In my registration class I got told by someone in the yr above that Lee had been in a car accident and there were 2 other people in the car with him. I wasn't sure wether to believe it or not and just tried to block it out. Then 2 hours passed and people were talking about it. I went in the canteen at break and as soon as my friend put her hand on my back and said sorry I just broke down into tears. I was a mess and didn't know what to do. I didn't want to believe it, my friends were telling me that I should go home but I was trying to tell them that I was alright and that it would be better if I just stayed at school. They wouldn't have it and one of my friends took me home. She explained to my mum and another friend came to my house to stay. It was so hard to believe, but the next day when it was on tv it just all became so real. It had been raining on the night of the crah and they had come round corner, came off the road and collided into a tree! Sean and Lee died instantly and Ann-Marie had been flung out of the car and was lying on the road. She was taken to the hospital but died of her injuries. It was so hard to take in, I had spent most of my time with them and couldn't believe that I would never see them or speak to them again. Sorry I can't finish this it's too upsetting.
